Recently more villains have been entering into the fray even the playing field for villains against neutrals but there are still a surplus more of heroes than villains. Though the villains are certainly putting up a fight to further themselves very quickly.

A Magician's Due

Mumbo burst out of the bank, a ridiculous amount of money bags thrown over one shoulder. Looking around, he threw them all into the air and caught each one in his hat as it came down, each bag sinking into the hat slightly before getting sucked in. crashing sounds could be heard from within Mumbo's hat."Hey! Watch it up there!" Came a voice from Mumbo's hat."Sorry there, have a nice day." Mumbo said into his hat, giggling maniacally and rolling it up his arm and onto his head.He jumped, springs appearing in his feet and launching him into the air, and landed on the roof of the bank, clinging to the lamppost.He screamed like a monkey, impersonating King Kong, and smiled.

A brown haired girl watched the scene from a rooftop 'make sure to get that hat' said a dark voice in her head 'no! Just stop him from doing crime!' said a sweeter voice in her head "I'll do both..." muttered the girl quietly to herself before she flew from the rooftop and into the scene "time for the tricks to end Mumbo" she said calmly, her sky blue eye and ash grey eye glaring at Mumbo.

Mumbo grunted as he was thrown back, landing on the ground 40 feet below leaving a crack in the pavement."Now that was rude, I never even got to say hi first! You may be a beauty on the outside but you're filthy on the inside. Let's clean you up a bit, shall we?" He said, pulling his wand out and blowing across the tip of the enchanted instrument. Slowly a huge bubble formed, coming out of the tip of the wand. Immediately it flew towards Paige and exploded, spewing water, soap, shampoo, and fire everywhere."Make sure to get under your fingernails!" He shouted as he started to walk down the street, laughing and holding his hand over his forehead.Another girl appeared, this one seemed more impassive than the last, and also more timid."Oh look, a birdy!" Mumbo pointed at the girl."Would you like to see some of my birds?" He took off his hat, flipping it in his hands and pointing the open end at Winged Hope. An enormous flock of doves flew from within the hat and bombarded the girl, diving en masse at her.

Annie quickly allowed Ellenia to take control and she quickly slashed the birds away with her demon trident "give me that hat Mumbo Jumbo" she said as she smirked then flew towards Mumbo "if you hand it over I promise not to destroy you" she said darkly as she got ready for anything that Mumbo might attack with.

Mumbo crouched in anticipation for the girl to attack him, ready to take whatever she would throw at him."Mumbo Jumbo!" He shouted.With that, his body split in half as Annie flew through where he once stood. His legs below her an d his torso hovering above. His torse turned to look at Annie as she passed through his body."No can do little girl. You see, all my tricks are right in this hat of mine. If I let you see it that would just ruin the show!" He said as his body floated down and reattached itself to Mumbo's legs.So, Toodles!" He said, waving back at the girl as he walked forwards down the road. (or backwards considering his torso had reattached in reverse to his legs)

Mumbo's torse diconnected from his legs and spun 540 degrees in the air, plopping down to reattach itself so that Mumbo was now facing Paige.No can do kid, no one there appreciated good magic. And everyone was so dull. Not like you guys, I know I can count on you , MY friends, to help me stay away from there!" He said, holding out his hand for a handshake."Put er' There!""... or was I supposed to fight you? Yes! That was it." He said, a thin sword springing from his outstretched hand as he dropped into a ridiculous fencing position."En Garde!" He shouted, eyes narrowed with a smile on his face.Mumbo lunged towards Paige.

Mumbo Smiled. Pulling 2 huge metal rings out of his jacket."Now you see me." He said, throwing one ring onto the sidewalk and pulling the other one around his body."Now you see me somewhere else." Mumbo said as he materialized inside the ring on the sidewalk, holding it over his head with a flourish and watching the wave of energy meant for him near Paige.

Ellenia growled annoyed "ugh I'm already sick and tired of his cheap tricks, might as well just go rob another bank myself" she muttered quietly as she glared at Mumbo, wondering if she should use her strong attack yet.

A robbery in progress... The perfect time to strike. While the hero kiddies and Mumbo started fighting each other Red X walked into the bank itself with a yawn. The officers already had their guns pointed at the door and as soon as X walked through the door they opened fire! Quickly the man flipped over the bullets before they could strike him and they each went into the wall! With two shots of goo from each of his wrists he restrained them to the wall as he walked past them! It was then and there that the cop noticed that this was none other than the one and only... He managed to reach for a communicator and began to speak into it, hoping that the thief didn't hear him! "Chief this is Officer Johnson! X just showed up when we were about to go after Mumbo, requesting backup now!" the officer said. Just as a feeling of relief sounded over him he looked up and saw an explosive X heading his way! It expolded taking out both of the two cops, the communicator dropping to the ground! "Johnson this is the chief we're on our way, stand your ground! Johnson do you read me? Johnson...? Johnson? You there.... JOHNSON!" the chief now shouted as X picked up the walkie talkie of these so called special forces. "Sorry officer he's not here right now, want me to leave a message?" he asked, tossing the communicator into the air and catching it.

"You won't get away with this X! We'll take down both you and Mumbo! You two won't get out of this one!" the officer shouted through it! "Sorry but you're mistaken, I work alone. Guess it was just my lucky day that he got the attention of your troops." X said with a smile under his mask. Before another word could be said the thief snapped the officer's toy in half with his knee and walked over to the vault! Money bags still filled the room, for the villian hadn't stolen all of it. Quickly the thief grabbed several bags of money and opened them, sticking the cash under his belt! With that he made his way out, now passing by the heroes and Mumbo. On the way he fired an explosive X, which blew up a police car and set off a chain reaction, but didn't look back. If any of them came after him though, he'd be ready to fight.

Paige managed to block the attack with her energy shield as she though "man all these new heroes are starting to get on my last nerve!" she then saw Red X and looked back to Mumbo being preoccupied by the girl and hoped she could handle it. She got up behind Red X and says.

Mumbo's eyebrow raised at the girl's proposition."Hmm, lemme thi-NO" HE screamed, his head expanding and his neck elongating ridiculously as he shouted."You see, if I give you money, then I would have to lose money to make more money. Whereas I can just go take money if I want it. So, thanks, but goodbye." He said, his head exploding like a balloon. The burst threw Annie back some as the papery pieces of Mumbo's head flew back together and formed under his floating hat.

"Thanks kid." He said as he allowed himself to be put into a headlock... Mumbo wasn't the only one who had a few tricks up his sleeve. Before he could be thrown to the ground he fired some goo from his wrist, one of the oldest tricks in the book, straight at Paige! If successful it would restrain her to the ground and Red X would make his escape. If unsuccessful however, the second he was thrown towards the ground he would flip in mid-air and land on the ground, then fire two explosive Xs at her!
